Sinclair Centre is an upscale shopping mall in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. It is located at 757 West Hastings Street between Granville and Howe streets. The centre comprises four buildings that were restored and connected by a new atrium space designed by Henriquez Partners Architects and Toby Russell Buckwell Architects in 1986.〔(Governor General's Medals in Architecture webpage ). Retrieved 2015-10-19〕 The cost for this work was 38 million. The main post office was housed here from 1910 until the new one opened in 1958. The Post Office Building is in an Edwardian Baroque style, combining English and French influences. It features an atrium clock consisting of four clocks built in 1909 and is the largest clock movement in Western Canada; the minute hands alone weigh 92 kilograms (202 pounds) each. In addition to the mall, the building has a seven floor office tower occupied by the federal government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Emporis Buildings )〕 The buildings that comprise the centre are the Post Office (1910 - David Ewart), the handsome and architecturally esteemed〔''Vancouver, then & now.''
